Units sold for hardware for the week between May 23 and May 29 are rather lacklustre with most consoles reporting fewer sales from the prior week. Despite the strong turnout of 60,877 units sold for Switch consoles, it is a setback from previous week’s 64,839 units by 6.11% as sales of its Switch OLED machines drag, reporting 25.66% fewer units sold from last week’s 41,302 units. The PlayStation 5 vanilla noted a small uplift in sales by 5.48% week-on-week whereas its Digital Edition slowed down by as much as 12.29% to put its total weekly sales at 14,830 units, 3.73% more than the week before. Both Xbox Series consoles are down sharply after a healthy turnout the week before. Units sold are 64.37% less at a total of 2,541 units.

As for software, the Top 10 list only sees one new release for the week with the visual novel game Radiant Tale taking the 4th spot at 7,311 copies sold in its first 4 days. According to Play-asia, the title is described as follows:
Today’s customers at Rebel where Tifalia works, are a unique group of people who called themselves the CIRCUS.
Play-Asia
Their first performance was not a success. Tifalia forces to join as an assistant and producer after hearing “What is lacking in the current CIRCUS is mediocre like you!”
She was worried all night wondering how she going on a journey, but with her family’s words, she decided to participate.
A crazy dragon that loves to tickle, a spikey clown that doesn’t make you laugh, a water creature who doesn’t want to use water magic, an acrobat who doesn’t know how to entertain, a drunkard furball, an unmotivated leader, and an amateur producer who just joined.
Will they be able to perform successfully in front of crowds?
